Christopher Brown is an attorney and municipal court judge in Galloway Township and a veteran of the Persian Gulf War.

Brown recently received a notice telling him to prepare for deployment. The 44-year-old thought it was a mix-up because he'd met his eight-year military obligation. But he was never discharged and is therefore classified as a reservist.

That means he's eligible for reactivation.

Brown's last day on the bench is this Friday. He's scheduled to report to South Carolina's Fort Jackson for training in early October.

He's been assigned to a combat service support battalion and is scheduled to be deployed to Iraq in November.
